Today I tried a new restaurant for lunch called Chez Zee.  It was pretty cool.  Decent food and a fun atmosphere (for which the competition is pretty heavy in this foodie town). I enjoyed the Maytag Blueberry Salad and some refreshing hibiscus iced tea.  I hear their desserts are amazing but I was with a client and he didn’t want any dessert, so, I, uh, didn’t want any either.

I suspect a new lunch/dinner/breakfast/brunch/coffee spot will often be my Something New for the day, but I promise it won’t be more than half of my “News” for the year.  Not sure if it’s just me, but I can definitely get into a food/bar/coffee spot rut. You find something you like and keep going back for more.  Lest you venture out and wind up disappointed, uttering, “See, should have just gone to 219 West*.  They never let me down.”  There, that’s my justification.

*For the record, I do love me some Happy Hour at 219 West and will definitely continue patronizing them despite my desire for newness.
